Romans 6:1-14

Romans 6:1-14

Paul has firmly established our justification by faith alone in Christ alone. The amazing fact that we have been justified freely, without cause, by God's grace alone and now have complete redemption in Christ Jesus. Paul now transitions into the sanctified life of the believer. Knowing that we have been marvelously justified in Christ, how does it impact the way we live for Christ.Paul will make it clear that the sanctified life, the Christian life we are all called to live as a result of our justification, should be a victorious life. The sanctified life should be a life of victory, freedom and security. Paul will lay out to us the key components of living the victorious Christian life over the next three chapters

Chapter 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
